HONORING ROBERT J. FINE, JR., OF ADMIRAL FARRAGUT ACADEMY
______
HON. CHARLIE CRIST
of florida
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, May 18, 2021
Mr. CRIST. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the outstanding contributions of Robert J. ``Bob'' Fine, Jr., Headmaster of Admiral Farragut Academy in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Mr. Fine is retiring from Admiral Farragut Academy after more than 30 years of service as an educator, administrator, coach, and leader in our local community. He first joined the school as a math teacher in 1989 and has served as Headmaster for more than two decades, beginning in 1998.
Mr. Fine is admired and beloved by hundreds of Farragut families and leaves an extraordinary legacy in the K-12 school's history. Under his exceptional leadership, the unique naval preparatory mission of Admiral Farragut Academy has endured since 1933, inspiring young leaders in military and civilian service. Under his tenure, the school also became co-educational and expanded to create a lower school for young children.
Mr. Fine is a pillar in the 13th Congressional District of Florida, having served on numerous nonprofit boards, including the St. Petersburg College Board of Trustees (where he served as Vice Chairman and Chairman), St. Petersburg College Foundation Board of Directors, Bayfront Medical Center Board of Directors, Florida Council of Independent Schools, Florida High School Athletic Association, and the Association of Military Colleges and Schools of the United States.
Madam Speaker, it is my great honor to recognize the exemplary accomplishments in education and community service by Mr. Bob Fine before the U.S. House of Representatives.
